Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please advise: What is a reasonable diet for a child with uncomfortable tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
For the disease of tonsillitis in children, it is recommended to start with daily diet for regulation. Children can be encouraged to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins that help boost immunity. For fruits, pears and apples are recommended, while for vegetables, green vegetables, cabbage, and tomatoes are all good choices. You can choose based on the child's preferences. Daily diet should consist of easily digestible foods, such as porridge and noodles. While maintaining a light diet, it is also important to avoid certain trigger foods, such as poultry eggs, donkey meat, and beef or lamb. Tonsillitis in children may lead to some complications, which can be very harmful to their health. Therefore, parents must help their children receive proper treatment.
